It is the chief Jurposo of niv invention to ovronio this diiliculty by that novel construction to be hereinafter pointeld outand lzoloimed, whcrobyit shrill ho impossible to o erato tho dovico, ond to 'feed the filin Afrom4 ,t e box to tho pointof exposure, unless the box is'closcd. ylhe moment tho magnziuo is opened, the delivci'y opening in the nmgm" zine is thrown ont of nlinenwnt with the feed device for thelilni, so that the film cannot bofed from tho magazine whil'o oxposod to the lantern rays whilo the box is opon. It is also tho object of my invention to provide moans for surrounding the reel in the languzine with dnmpned absorbent motorini, to rcndor the film moist sind pliable and less inflammable, and I alsoproirdo means to prevent any flame onterin the magazine through thefoed opening or the film, when tho film is in use.

18 is any (-,om'onicntclasp' for holding the` Alt will bo evident from the foregoing dc. soription that whe'n 4tl1c'ma.,,gazino is mounted on tho'picture frame machine., and tho no tur@ film from tho rcel is fcdto thofee ingrr devices'of theinaohine, tlmt if any attempt is made to open tho coso, whether accidentally or otherwise, or if tho coso is not closed. the lilm'will be at once fractured and broken lil as the feed opening through the case will be l member,

alinement with the feeding de- E with an opening for the passage thrown out o vices of the machine.

It will also be evident that n hen the magnzine is closed, there will be no opportunlty for a, flame to enter the lmigazine :mddestro f the film on the reel.
